The advert says 67 plate. Yes registered for UK in 2018, but the car is a 2015 year, so it should get a 2015 plate. In brief I bought a bike which was unregistered, ie had not been put on road or registered for a plate with DVLA, when I went to put it on the road, ( this had been stored ) they gave me a plate from the year of manufacture not from when I registered it. My arguement with them is that it SHOULD of got a plate from the year registered because it was brand new and stored unused, like cars at the docks from Europe or further afield, they get plates when first registered in this country from new. You could buy a brand new car from a dealers which has been stood on the docks at Bristol for upto a year or more, so whats the difference?

Here you have a second hand car which has previously been registered for the road in a different country and imported to UK, it should have got an age related plate - end off, not a 67 plate.

When I bought my previous car - a Renault Megane CC, we bought it from a dealership in Sheffield which was advertising it as “brand new”. I had been waiting for the facelift model which had a few nice “extras” as standard over the previous version.

After picking the car up & giving them all my hard earned, I soon realised that this was not the latest version, but in fact the previous model. It had a brand new registration, but turned out to be 18 months old, and had been stored unused, unregistered, & unsold.

There followed a 3 weeks battle, during which time I put @800 miles on the car, while I tried to get my money back. Eventually, I succeeded but by that time they had sold on my old car which I had part exchanged. They gave me the money they had made on my part ex, & I had to buy a little run about until I sourced a replacement Megane.

Point is, it was a previous model, 18 months old car which the DVLA allowed to be registered with the current latest registration. If I hadn’t researched the cars features, they would have probably got away with selling it as “new” (which they constantly complained “technically” it was).
